Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards
Japanese manga series Yu-Gi-Oh! has been around since 1996, and just like any other self-respecting worldwide sensation, it soon started releasing mountains of merchandise. Much like other hits of its kind, it released trading cards too. If you happen to have any of those lying around, you’d be happy to know you could trade them for lots of money.
An original first-edition of the coveted booster box of Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon has already been sold for $1450. Even individual cards from a box like this could be sold for several hundred dollars. If you used to collect them as a kid, you could be sitting on a gold mine.
Faker Action Figure
For those of you who weren't busy obsessing over Masters of the Universe in the '80s (maybe you had social lives or were generally invited to parties and things), allow us to introduce you to Faker, a member of the Masters of the Universe world. While you were busy planning your campaign for prom kings and queens, others were busy getting Faker action figures that are now worth more than your fanciest tie-clip.
They say evil never wins, but they also say that there is an exception for every rule. As it turns out, Faker is one such exception. Even though he is one of the bad guys, an unboxed action figure of his can be worth up to $1,000 on eBay.
Power Rangers Action Figures
If you don't have a favorite power ranger you are either lying or too embarrassed to admit it's the pink one. We've all been there, although sometimes find it hard to remember being so many years back. But regardless of which one you liked best, if you have any of their original action figures, you are about to love them on a whole new level.
Original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers action figures (both heroes and villains) can be worth a few hundred dollars if you know the right online hub to go to. As usual, the price of an item would differ depending on its condition.
Vintage Radio Controlled Cars
Sorry to break it to you but electric, non-polluting cars running on clean energy have been here long before we realized sustainability was even a thing. Sadly, those cars were tiny and by no means could sit a family of five, but let's not focus on the negative, shall we?
So, if at some point in your childhood, you decided to have some fun with an RC car until you were old enough to drive the real thing, listen up. Vintage models of RC cars could be sold for hundreds of dollars. While there's still demand for opened and used ones, rare models of unboxed cars have the highest profit potential.
VHS Wrestling Specials
Be it gladiator fights, Fight Club or WWE, we can't escape the notion that since the dawn of time people have enjoyed watching other people beat each other up for entertainment. Combine that thirst for blood with some thirst for vintage and you might land on some cash.
As it turns out, some people still keep VHS tapes despite the fact that virtually no one has a VCR these days. If you happen to stumble upon such a VHS with the '80s or '90s wrestling special, there could be a few hundred dollars for you right there. Such a tape with the 1986 Memorial Cup Tag Team Tournament could be sold for up to 400$.
